VERSE For Whom the Times Chimes Johannes Eff

coming chief of aviation. At the end of the war he fled to France with his family, then made his way to Cuba, where he hoped for assistance from wealthy relatives. They refused to have anything to do with the cousin they called “that Red,” and he had a difficult time.

After trying a variety of professions with no success, he thought he would go to Mexico. A letter to J ARE (Junta de Auxilio a los Republicanos Espanoles) brought prompt response in the way of first class steamship tickets for himself, his wife, and two children. In Mexico, he was doing fairly well when the authorities suddenly threatened him with deportation because he had entered on a tourist visa that gave him no right to work. Influential friends arranged for him to take back his Spanish nationality and remain as a political refugee, which makes it seem as though the Spanish Republicans thought him pretty valuable; such things are not accomplished in Mexico without a large outlay of cash.
